THE LONDON JOURNALS, DAILY EXTRACTS 'FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. JULY 10, 1826. [TILE TIMES:' We have received a copy of "An Address to the Hold ers of Greek Bonds, and the Friends of the Greek Cause generally," written and put forth, we are told, under the sanction of a body of gentlemen who have taken a pecu liar interest in the progresi of the Greek arms, and the support of Greek independence. It begins by expressing surprise that Englishmen have cooled in their sympathy towards the sufferings, and in their ardour for•the success of the Greeks, while the sympathy and the enthusiasm of the French have suffered no abatement. We were scarce ly aware of the change, nor are we afraid of the contrast ; but if there has been any diminution in our zeal or our admiration, both its cause and excuse may be found in the conduct of the Greek authorities themselves, and the representations of those travellers who, having visited the scene of their operations, pretend to be best acquainted with their character. Another charge contained in this Ad dress is brought forward with a similar laudable object •of stimulating our liberality, by comparing it with'the greater generosity of our neighbours. It is true that in 'France the sum of about .50,000/. has been collected in subscrip tions for the Greeks--Lan amount considerably reater than was subscribed for the ragamuffins "of the Faith, and about double the donations realized for the family of Gen. Foy : but what has England done in the mean time ? Has not her money flowed to Greece more co piously in the shape of loans, and are we not entitled to consider these loans as charity till we discover some better prospect of their being ultimately. repaid'? Passing by these topics, however, as not necessarily connected with the main object of the address, though forced upon us by the writer, we may mention that its chief recommenda tion seems practicable, and might be extremely useful.— Certainly, most of the recent disasters of Greece have arisen from the want of military organization; and it is to be presumed that any arrangement for creating it might not only give a favourable turn to the war, but ensure the ultimate triumph of the righteous cause. The address, therefore recommends that a distinguished officer, whom it does not name, but describes, shall be solicited to pro ceed to Greece to organize its military resources, and that a temporary loan of .50,000/. shall be raised, to be exclusively appropriated to objects connected with his en terprise.• It is more than hinted, that the officer alluded to would have no objection to undertake the duty sug gested; and if we are right in supposing him to,be the same able man who was formerly engaged in a similar ser vice in Sicily ) Naples,, and the lonian Islands, we think the cause of Greece could not be offered a more valuable present—except in the person of Lord Cochrane, which it already possesses. • [THE MORNING CHRONICLE.] In an account of an examination on a charge of forgery at the Mansion-house, reported in The Chronicle of Sa turday, it is stated, that " the prisoner seemed inclined to enter into a full explanation but was advised by his so licitor not to say a word." We have more than once ad verted to the very objectionable, as it seems to us, inter, ference of attornies in examinations of persons under charge. As it is proper that our Police Offices should be open to all, we of course do not object to the attendance of attornies, but we contend that in that stage of proce dure in which the Magistrate is committing the person under charge for trial, no individual Whatever, whether barrister or attorney, has a right to advise the person in question how to act or speak. This is obstructing the Magistrate, or we are at a loss to understand what the term means. Magistrates cbooSe themselVtts, when they Wish to favour the escape of a person under charge, to caution him that he is not obliged to say any thing ealen- Wed to criminate himself (as if they were invested with au thority to aid the escape of crime) ; but though they may act in this absurd manner themselves, persons- not in. vested with authority are not entitled to imitate them.— The time fpr the interference of Counsel 'is during trial; but then, absurdly enough, the English law condemns the poor prisoner to speak for himself. We trust Mr. Peel, among his other improvements, will draw up for the use of Magistrates, a system of instructions for their guidance in the conducting of those important proceedings which precede commitment.. [TUE WEPIVESENTATIVE.] The debate in the Chamber of Peers on Tuesday last turned on the Budget, but, in the usual manner of our neighbours, was made to embrace every object connected with the of the country. Count de Kergorlay attacked the financial system of M. Do Villele. Among other. observations he.remarked, that every one knew that the spirit of enterprise, and an inclination to favour the adVance of the new Republics, had drawn the English nation into exaggerated speculations, which have pro duced a financial crisis : but, by its very nature, this crisis had nothing in it applicable to France, which would scarcely have felt the re-action, if in its own finances the Administration had not deviated from the path in such a way. as lo arrest the course of our prosperity. All this is derived from one source—from the unhappy sup position that a vigilant Administration ought to profit by the fever of a rise in the Funds. Experience has proved how much such a principle wanted prudence. Because a little stock-jobbing is in some sort inseparable from credit, it was imagined that it would be served by inviting jobbing. This was calling for a re, action, for the bow, too much bent, always loosens itself most violently. These observations drew forth a few words in reply from M. de Villele, who strictly maintained the propriety of his meitaures; hut the moat interesting part of the debate did not, as would have been the case in England, turn upon the finances, hut on the Greek war. The Duke de Chbisetil concluded his speech by Saying, that a general anathema was directed against the oppressors, against ehe'eneinieS, of the Greeks—against all those who lend to barbarians the succour of their arms or their talents —.against all those, who do not know either to appreciate worth or succour misfortune. Thanks to the example of Franee,gifts,'prayers, offivings, flOw from all quarters into the East„ A. new crusade--a crusade of benefits and generosity, is estahli,,hi n g it s elf in Europe. Next to the honour of being a Pcer of France,. the Duke said that no thing appeared to him More gloriona than to be a Member of the Greek coininittee, in which so many of his noble colleagues sate. if Greece were to fall, their names would at liaat be connected with, thoSe of her courageous de fenders, and attest their devotion to the sacred cause of religion and humanity. M. de Viliele rather indignantly repelled the attack thus insinuated against his Ministry, and read the following curious letter, written by Contre- Amiral Rigny, who commands the French fleet in the Levant . _ _ " MYRNA, Aran. 29, 1826. " Being the Commander of his Majesty's squ a d ron i n t h e Levant at the time alluded to in a sitting of the Chamber of Peers, ' I think it my duty to declare the following facts 4i 1. The Mitdeter of Marine sent, to me, to Smyrna, the Or dinance of 18th January, 1 b 8, arierainpartied by a letter from the Minister of Foreign Militia, who, justly struck with the restric tions Which the terms of this ()refinance might impose on our navigation, stoked for some explanations which might guide the Consuls in the Levant in the application of it, and the exceptions of which it was susceptible. ar t. This Ordinance had been issued ie consequence of reports which had reiiihed the 111init;tor of theltiehle, respecting the eon.. veyaneo to I?,gypt on board a Prench freighted by two mer chants of -Smyrna, of several Greeks whet had iseaped the otasbacre of Chios, and fillen'into siavery. ordinance having given ruse to as strict investigation into the facts•on which it was loon& ed, it was proved to the 'general satisfaction that the sl aves rtese ported to have' been conveyed ,to Il,gypt to be seld were thio redee t r wi 4 _flit, roverice of these same merchants, who voluntarily wont to join'their bunnies tat Alexandria. " 11; t,lii4C the publieation of thia Ordininnee, there has not ranee been an occasion to apply it. as 4. Tlia White Slave Trade, as it is called, is aot carried on here to my knowledge under any flag. As it is my duty to observe and to know what-is done under the French flag,, I declare that there is not a single Captain who would not reject such a traffic with horror. " "5. In so unnatural a %vat., in which each hireling by turns revenges sanguinary actions by cold-blooded reprisals, victims fall On all sides. Who then takes care of them? Those very Franks who are accused ; those very flags which, by the most calumnious exaggerations, are placed below African Slave Traders. " 6. There is not a single European house at Smyrna, which, after the disaster of Chios, did not redeem some victim. Is it Wished that people should believe the French alone bad not con tributed ? The public voice may answer. " '7. The French merchantmen are the first which declined riot the conveyance of Slaves, but of articles which neutrality itself did not ibrbid ; and in this they did not obey the law, which was silent, but humanity, which spoke. It is notorious how the Greek pirates have rewarded them for it. " S. The cannon before which the Suliotes fell so gloriously. at Alissolonglii were not French cannon. The officers who di rected the siege were not Frenchmen, but Piedmontese and Nea politans; one Frenchman only, Colonel Serve; is in Ibrahim's army. Whatever may be the reason of his keeping from active operations, it is certain that, during the last campaign, he was always in the rear, and near Merlon. " 9. As for the King's ships, the officers who have served in them under difficult circumstances, they have followed the in structions and orders they received. Whatever may be the fate of these unhappy countries, those orders and instructions, and the execution of them, have been such, that the French flag may al ways show itself there in all the lustre and purity of its colour. " When in the agitation of political passions, anonymous ca lumnies find their way into the Journals, they may be despised. But when powerful and generous voices, addressing august assem blies, utter fears and inculpatory doubts, they must be answered by showing the facto; 1 am the witness and the guarantee of those which I have adduced. " The Rear-Admiral commanding the Levant Division. (Signed) " H. DE RIGNY." It was complained, by some of the Peers, that this document had not been before published; but M. de Villele rather haughtily declared that he would not come down to defend himself, day after day, in an arena to ' which he was called by his enemies. But it is quite evi dent that the stories which have been ,so industriously ' spread over Europe, of French interference against the Greeks, have no foundation. Indeed almost all the tales circulated of the Greek Cominittees, a seat among whom according to the Duke of Choiseul, is an object of such I ambition, are most completely divested of truth. The French budget was finally carried in the Peers by a ma jority of 111 to 5. THUNDER-STOICNI IN THE HIGHLANDS The long tract of dry weather, which maybe said to have continued , from seed time, there having been, since only some partial showers, - about the end of last month, has at length been intempted. The heat still continues exces sive. The thermometer has for some time been above 80 in the shade, and during the past week has sometimes been even so high as 86, with a northern - exposure. Tuesday was very sultry, the clouds seemed highly charged with electricity, distant thunder was heard from the south,a few drops of rain fell, and expectation was on tiptoe ;. but another day passed over without the much wished-for mois ture. On Wednesday forenoon thunder was heard in the distance in a northerly direction; during the day it ap proached nearer, anti about six o'clock in the afternoon a skirt of the cloud passed over this place; there were se verldloud claps of thunder, and vivid. flashes of lightning, anti the ruin fell in such torrents, • that in• a few minutes streats were running down the streets, which inundated low-lying houses, and ploughed up the . roads where there was any declivity. The rain did not last long, and did not extend liir to the west. The cloud passed towards the east, and we regret to learn that considerable damage was caused by the lightning in the neighbourhood of Nairn ; we subjoin a, letter, giving some . interesting Iwarticulars.— At ,11loyhall the thunder, reverberated by the surround ing hills was tremendous; it was there accompanied by showers of rain, hail, snow, and ice, which caused much devastation,, breaking all the windows in the mansion ' and, cutting the stems of the corn and potatoes, destroyed the crops. Yesterday and to-day distant thun der was again heardl :it traverses the country, distributing the rain in its course. Harvest will be very early, and it is hoped that there will be abundance for the food of man; but, as . we formerly stated, hay and straw will be scarce. Eitract of a letter' from - Nairn, dated yesterday About three o'clock yesterday we had one of the moat terrific thunder-storms ever remembered. The lightning .struck a house at Newton, entered-by the roof, and did great mischief. In the sitting parlour it hurled down some of the pictures, forced open a desk, and smashed the. glass of a hook-case and window ; one of the. chairs in a • corner of the room was burnt to a cinder. In a bed-room opposite, a great part of the ceiling was broken down, and the boxing torn in splinters 1 the other side of the room blackened, and the tables • and chairs were turned . topsy turvy. In the kitchen a servant girl's gown was burnt on her back, and a woman, who was sitting by the fire, was scorched by the lightning. The whole house was filled with smoke, and the inmates were nearly suffocated; the gardener, who was entering the house with vegetables, was thrown down; but though there were nineteen per sons in the house at the time, with the above exceptions, providentially no person was touched. There were a number of cattle killed in the neighbourhood, but I have heard of no loss of human life."—lnverness Journal. Mr. Cooper, the American Novelist, alias , d Wal ter Scott," the author of the " Pilot," &c. is arrived in England, together with his wife and family of five children. He is on his way to Lyons, being appoint ed a Consul for America. Viscount Northland, whose promotion to a British Peerage was announced in our bat, is the representa tive of the ancient family of Knox, of Renfurlie or Ratnphorlie, in Renfrewshire, of which John Knox, the celebrated Scottish Reformer, was a cadet. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, on recei% i lig the half-year's rents of his Lincolnshire tenanantry due at Lady-day last, has made them a return of ten per cent on their respective payments, in consequence of the depression of agricultural produce, and the injury sus tained from the excessive drought. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT..OII Saturday morn ing, between nine and ten o'clock, a fine boy, apparently about 13 or 14 years of age, was drowned, whilst bathing in the Canal, in. St. James's-paek. About three quarters of an hour elapsed before the body could be found, which was carried to a public-house in Westminster, where all means to restore animation were tried ; but, from the length of time the body had been under water, it proved ineffectual. A WORD IN FAVOUR. OP THE DUMB CREA TION.--if you keep dogs, let them have free access to water, and, if practicable, take them out occasion ally into the fields, and let them have the advantage of swimming whenever there is an opportunity.. If you keep birds, do not, as is too commonly practised, expense them in their cages to a hot sun : it is a cruel and fatal mistake. Birds, unconfined, seek the shel ter in sultry weather. If you 'do expose them out of doors, cover the to of, P their cages with, a piece of carpeting, or, wh ic h i e better, a green sod, or abun dance of leaves. lim e who have the care of horses should be especially attentive, during the sultry wea ther, to give them water or to moisten their mouths. We have been often shocked to see some of the labouring horses, in sultry and dusty weather, foam , big at the mouth, and labouring under symptoms of the intolerable torments of thirst.—Caledoman Mer -1 airy. Silt T. STAMFORD RAFFLES. . . Sir Stamford Raffles had passed the day preceding his decease in the bosom of his family, at his residence at Highwood Hill. He had suffered for some ditys.from a bilious attack, but there wss nothing to create the least apprehension that the fatal termination of his existence was at all accelerated by it. Sir Stamford had retired to rest on the Tuesday even ing betwecii.ten.and eleven o'clock, his usual hour when in the countrV. On the following morning, at five o'clock, it being dis Covered that he had left his room before the time at which he generally rose, six o'cloek, Lady R. im diately arose, and found him lyin . g at the bottom of a flight of stairs in a state of complete insensibility. Medical aid was promptly procured, and every means resorted to, to restore animation, but the vital spark had lied. The body was opened under the direction of Sir Everted Home the same day, who pronounced his death to have been caused by an apoplectic attack, beyond the controul of all human aid. It was likewise apparent that the sufferings of the deceased must for some time past have been most intense, brought on by his long residence in India, and in the anxious and zealous discharge 'of the important duties which devolved upon him. Whether we consider Sir Stamford Raffles in the light of a public servant, upholding the character and interests of the East India Company in a distant and most interest ing part of the globe—labouring at the same time to ad mice the welfare and happiness of the natives, by afford ing them the means of education, and diffusing amongst them the Holy Scriptures; or whether we view him as the ardent and enlightened promoter of science and litera ture, we must consider hiS premature decease as a public loss. We have heard 'that Sir Stamford Raffles had ap pealed to the East India Company for consideration on account of his public services and severe losses. We know that those services have been publicly acknowledg ed. The lamented object is himself beyond the reach of praise or censure; but the preservation of his character must be doubly endeared to his surviving relict, whilst the succession of peculiarly trying dispensations with which it has pleased an inscrutable Providence to visit her, presents claims of no common character to the . consideration of those to whom Sir Stamford Raffles had appealed. THE TEA. DUTY. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) ' The Times asserts that tea-duties to the amount. of 700,000/. have been paid into the Exchequer this quarter, which were not paid into the Exchequer in the. corres ponding quarter, 1825. The sum received on account of tea duties in the quar ter ending July 5, 1825, was 880,0004 out of which 500,000/. was not paid into the Exchequer, being retain ed in the hands of the Receiver-General to repay the wine duties. The sum received for tea duties in the quarter ending the sth July, 1826, and paid into the Exchequer, haS been 780,000/. There has, therefore, been a falling off in the tea duty from the fall in the prices. But, to make a fair comparison between the quarters, we must give the quarter ending sth of July, 1825, credit for the 500,000/. detained in the hands of the Receiver- General for the purpose of repaying the wine duties; but, on the other hand, to institute the comparison between the quarters, we must deduct a sum received in the quar ter ending the sth of July, 1825, being the residue of port duties (transferred to Customs) which were received in that quarter, and for which there is, of course, no corre sponding rece►pt in the quarter ending the sth of July, 1826. This sum amounts to 470,0001. The comparison would, therefore, correctly stand thus : Excise Exchequer payments for the quarter ending the hth of July, 1825 - £3,915,950 Add the portion of tea duties detained in the Re ceiver-General's hands - 600,000 £4,414,950 Deduct residue of port duties received in that quarter - 470,304 £3,954,656 Excise Exchequer payments for the quarter ending the sth of July; 1826 - - 3,870,09 Decrease £75,665 In making the calculation more roughly, the 'detained tea duties and the residue of port Anties. in the quarter ending the sth of ,1u1y,1825, have been regarded as ba, lancing each other; and the actual payments into the Ex chequer, taken as the fair sums, to compare thus : For Tinter ending sth of July, 182:i - - 0,915,950 For ditto ditto 182 - 9,870,091 Decrease £45,859 In no view of the subject, therefore, has the Times any grounds for its allegation respecting the Excise Exchequer payments.--Tines. COURT OF ALDERMEN. On Thursday the, LordMayorheld a Court of Alderrnel at Guildhall, for the purpose of swearing Sir Peter Laurie into the office of Alderman for the Ward of Aldersgate, the Sheriffs elect sealing bond, and other business. The Lord Mayor, eighteen Aldermen, Recorder, Sheriffs, and City Officers, were present. His Lordship reported to the Court,that ata Wardmote recently held before him in the ward of Alderagate, for the Election of an Alderman, in the room of R. A. Cox, Esq. deceased, Sir Peter Laurie was unanimously elected. Sir Peter Laurie was then introduced by Mr. Deputy Fisher and Mr, Deputy Lorkin, the Members of the Com mon Council, and several inhabitants of the ward, and was thereupon'sworn into office, and took his seat. Charlet;Farebrother Esq. and Henry Winchester, Esq. the Sheriffs e lect,' attending, entered into the usual bond to take upon themselves that office on the gBth of Septem ber next. Mr. Alderman Ansley was elected Collector and Re ceiver of the Orphans' Dues on wines brought into thepori of London, in th e room o f the late Mr . Alderman Cox. The Court adjourned the consideration of the Petitions of the inhabitants of Portsoken Ward against Messrs. Saul's application for the freedoni, and Messrs. Saul's petition to be admitted to the freedom Mr. Egerton Smith, of Liverpool, has proposed a new species of life-preserver for persons going to sea. It con- 1 sists of a collar of cork, two inches thick, and 19 inches in diameter, with a hole in the middle, large enough to let the head pass through. The collar Heti upon the shoulders, somewhat like a tippet, and is fastened to the body by strings passing from back to front under the arms. Its weight is two pounds and three quarters. " This collar," he says, " supported me without any exertion on my part, and with my arms entirely out of the water. A young gentleman also hung upon me in the water, and the collar sustained us both, without motion on our parts, either of the hands o r f eet; an d I have not a do u bt t h at a collar of similar thi c k ness, a nd of two feet di ameter, would keep afloat thr ee p ersons .

COURT OF CHANCERY, ' JULY 'S. IN THE MATTER. OF CAVANNAH AND OTHERS, ZANE RUPTS. Mr. 'ROOTS said, that in this matter a commission of bankrupt was taken out against parties in Bristol, whose property was about to be sold ; that part of their estates were in Ireland ; that four assignees had been chosen, and that the present petition was presented by three of the assignees, praying, that the fourth might be at liberty to bid at the sale by auction, in Dublin, of the bankrupts' property in Ireland. His LORDSIII r considered this a singular applica . tion ; the court had given such permission to mortga gees, but never to assignees. Mr. ROOTS believed that similar indulgence had been given to assignees, though at the moment he could not name the cases. His LORDSHIP, after considering it for a little, said, the utmost liberty lie should grant, should be, that the assignee should bid, and become the purcha ser, provided the Court afterwards approved of the purchase. ELEPHANT AND CASTLE CHARITY. His , LoßDstuP was informed, that the only point now undisposed of in this matter was, what sum was to be ap propriated to the National School ; and he stated he should draw out an order with his own hand, deliver it to the Registrar, and that the Solicitor should have no need to attend again. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-3. Hogg, a Chelsea pensioner, charged Ann Nash with robbing him of 11. ss. He stated that he received his pension on. Friday, and _ _ going home lay down on the bed, and that the prisoner, who lodged in the same house, had picked his pocket while asleep. The prisoner declared that he had lent her the money, which she was to return► in a week. A female lodger here stated, that Mr, Hogg frequently got as drunk as David's sow, and, when in that state, would lend any thing. " Hould yer tongue, and spake the truth," screamed Mrs. Hogg (a little elf-looking Hibernian), after a violent prelude of clenching her fists, gnashing her teeth, and darting looks of unutterable fury at the accusing parties—" tell the truth; my, husband nivcr spices to bad women." " Never mind, Mrs. Hogg, your, Worship," said Ann, " it's only her piggish disposition, she never lends nothing to nobody, but she knows that her husband is a very good-natured man." Here Mrs. Hogg showed such violent symptoms of rage, that nothing, less than the threat of expulsion could pacify her, and on the Magistrate directing the warrant to stand over for a week, to give Nash the opportunity of paying the money, she left the office uttering curses, "not loud but deep." A respectably dressed child, named L. Levy, between eight and nine years of age, and who afterwards proved to be the son of a highly respectable fruiterer, was brought up on a charge of rob bery committed in the .Soho Bazaar. It appeared that the pri soner was observed by a lady, named Schofield, to glide along the edge of the counter, till he came to a note-case, value about 2e., which - he purloined. Upon being apprehended, he confessed that he had been into the Bazaar the week before, when he succeeded in carrying off various articles, and he stated that he had been urged to commit the robberies by an elder boy. The prisoner was remanded, that his parents might he informed of his unhappy situation. MANSION •H OUSE. ---T u REATENING LmEas.--John Knot, and Eliza, his wife, were charged with sending a variety of letters, containing threats of an abominable description, to the brother of the former, a respectable Gentleman, residing in the City, for the purpose of extorting money. The complainant stated, that within the last few months he had advanced the defen dants 601., although they bad no claim whatever upon him, and were abLe to support themselves respectably. if they thought pro iper ; hut thst, not natisfied with Chet, they bed annorsl MM. by sending a number of letters, front the language contained in which he was apprehensive of personal danger, and therefore appealed to the Lord Mayor for protection. The complainant produced up wards of a dozen letters, the nature of which are unfit for publi. cation.—The Loan Mason said the evidence was quite sufficient to warrant him in committing the prisoners. He, however, re manded them until Monday (this day), to give the Clerk time to prepare the depositionsagainst them. BOW-STREET.--.A man of the name of Thomas Lloyd, was brought to this office on several charges. He is a man of the most singularly and eccentric appearance. He wears a large straw hat, with a broad brim tai ned up on each side. His person is short, thin, and meagre, and he wears mustachios. He has taken in many of the hotel-keepers of the west end of the town, un der the pretence that he is related to the Attorney-General of Jamaica, and the proprietor of two valuable estates in that island. He has also pretended that the Lord Chancellor allowed him 2001. per annum, to avoid a public exposure. The pro prietors of Oliver's Coffee-house, Westminster-bridge, of the York Arms, Clarges-street, and other tavern-keepers, and se.. veral coach proprietors, were in attendance. He was sentenced to one month's imprisonment, for refusing to pay,li. the fare of a hackney coachman. He was also committed in default of bail, for threatening to shoot a gentleman named Mansfield. His con duct (luring the examination was most impudent; he threatened actions against the parties whom he had duped, and called the officers thieves and rogues ; and swore that he never would pay a farthing to the " blackguards" who had preferred the charges against him, tillthey had proved him a scoundrel, a traitor, and a deserter. The Drum Major of the Coldstream Guards proved that the prisoner, in 1800, was a fifer in that regiment. It was stated, that the prisoner deserted and joined Buonaparte. Prisoner--" I received a pardon for that." A gentleman named Taylor, whom the prisone r h a d d uped, said, the prisoner represented to him that he had j ust arr i ved from the West Indies, and that he had got prop er t y to a great amount in the City, - in foreign coin, which he sh ou ld get ex changed for English currency in a few days. The prisoner exclaimed--"I know the law, they are only debts; I 'made no false representation that you can prove. I w a fifer 25 years ago ; and what of that ? it is not what I have been, but what I em. I married a lady of fortune, the Attorney General of Jamaica; and,. b ecause I horsewhipped him in Court, I was sent away to Am er i ca w i thout a trial, and I came "to England to seek redress." The prisoner was conveyed t o p r i son . the aunt of LAIIifETII-STREET.—F oucaxxv. _ .. _tirtlsur Thompson, alias Josiah Potniale, a young man of respectable appearances ' V " charged with uttering a forged check for 251,, with intent to defraud Messrs. Taylor and Co., brewers, at Lima:at:se. The whole of the evidence having been taken in this ease, the Magis trate inquired if any other charges were to be brought fOrward. A number of persons at that moment rushed forward, and produced a variety of cheeks on Masten:tan% Drummond'a, Glyn's, and other banks, upon which money had been obtained under cir cumstances similar to those above detidled.--Among the persons defrauded were Meux and Co., Hoare and Co., Truman and Co., Goding and Co., Simpson and Co. A gentleman, from Mr. Chitrrington's firm mentioned that an attempt had been made upon them, but it had failed: The sum of money altogether ob tained appears to be upwards of 4001. The prisoner was then remanded until Wednesday next.
